This is a low class resort. The buffet is disappointing, and in a open air restaurant. So there are flys and bugs crawling on all the food. The drinks are sad, and poorly made. This place is pretty high up on the mountain, and has a very steep walk wherever you go. Not handicap friendly, and a challenging walk for me too. The hotel doesn't have an elevator. There isn't much to do around here, except the beach and the pool. A van will take you to Coco, the next town over for $10, but it's disappointing as well. The hotel has souvenir t-shirts for $24 US Dollars, and the Hard Rock wanted $33 for a t-shirt $24 and for a keychain. So it's not the cheep Costa Rica I was told about. We came here on a time share tour, and the hotel charged me $670 for the room anyway. When I said I wouldn't pay, the manager said he would call the police if I made problems. The wi-fi password is "VillaSolFree". The resort offered complimentary transportation from the Liberia Airport, but charge $40 for a return trip. I ended up catching a cab for $35. The exchange rate was $1 USD for ~660 Colognes, but everywhere we have been has accepted USD also.
